Like someone mentioned before, if you mutilate your son, he will be the "weird one" in the locker room (as if that's a legitimate reason to do anything).

Not really. Guess I used the wrong smiley.
I'm pretty sure it's close to 50-50 in Canada right now, with very few newborns these days currently being circumcised.
So I agree in ten years most kids in the locker room or wherever won't be cut. I know for myself growing up, there were probably more circumcised kids, but not being circumcised wasn't
that uncommon so it wasn't too big an issue.
I personally also wouldn't circumcise my son. I don't think there is a good enough reason to hurt my kid
and have to pay for it.
I wasn't cut myself, and can't complain. (Also never had any complaints, either)
Although at the same time I think if parents make an informed decision and have it done it isn't a huge unjustified tragedy. I don't think it's scarring to the child, and I don't think they will care later in life.
